I might be wrong but this API seems to bit short cited. We should probably
handle it bit better since there are more cases instead of just checking CPU
tuple. More than two CPUs may share the clock so discovering that in one iteration
is better. I also think this is closely related to CPU topology.

- CPUs part of 'a cluster' shares same clock.
- Multiple clusters may share same clock
- Every CPU might be clocked from separate PLL.

What you say ?

Santosh
